It truly is amazing isn't it Rhiannon. The butterfly life cycle and all those eels toing and froing to the Sargasso sea back to the Thames, the mind boggles. 'Some things beyond comprehension lie' for sure and the more we find out the more complex it all seems.

Thanks, Jenny. Fragile, and yet working, very special! All points to a Designer, and designers find so much to help their designs of machines, but obviously can never fully understand or match in wonder! Rhiannon

I did a degree in biochemistry, and would totally disagree with you, Ed!

The more you study the intricacy, the more impossible evolutionary change of 'chemicals to single cells to fish to mammals etc' becomes. Yes, there has been variation in the kinds (different types of horses, cats), but no evidence of big new information (sometimes loss of information can lead to a temporary success), for totally new more complex animals to develop from 'simpler' ones. There is also much evidence of the earth being much younger than millions or billions of years old. And most of the fossils had to be buried very quickly in some sort of catastrophe like a world flood.

Actually if Darwin was alive now, he might well be more cautious as he assumed that a mechanism would one day be found. Then it became thought that mutations of genetic material might produce such change, but the more the DNA is studied, the more it is realised that mutations are almost always harmful, and for there to be any benefit of new characteristic, many co-incident mutations would have to occur beneficially. New organs etc have an 'irreducible complexity' that if not complete, they would be a handicap and lost in natural selection.

Anyway, why shouldn't a supernatural God be a Creator and do miracles?

Just to add that there are things bad and not working well in nature at the present, but that is from when rebellion against God started, to show our need to pray to him, and the promise that he will one day make it all absolutely perfect again. Rhiannon

Thanks, Di. It's usually short ones that come in a rhyme format neatly. Those first two lines came to mind in the middle of the night, and the rest followed later, some quickly, some took awhile to feel right! Rhiannon
